Frightened, Maniyarasan gave Kumar some meat. Enraged, Kumar threw them at the shop and left.

He then exhumed a body and carried it through the streets to the shop, dumping it in front of horrified customers.

Police retrieved the body and buried it again. Meanwhile, Kumar was arrested and is being interrogated.
